UPDATE, 12:35 p.m.: In a hearing that immediately followed Velazquez's appearance, Flannery Mullins admitted to facts sufficient to warrant a delinquency charge on misdemeanor counts of a civil rights violation and disturbing a school assembly. Her probation will last until she turns 19 in Jan. 2012.

The civil rights charge was continued without a finding until her nineteenth birthday; the charge of disturbing a school assembly was continued without a finding until August 2011. First Northwestern District Attorney Steven Gagne noted that because Mullins turned 18 between the time of her indictment and her sentencing, her maximum probation period under the juvenile court extends to her 19th birthday.

During her probation, Mullins may not profit from her role in the case and must complete 100 hours of community service. Additionally, she must work toward a high school diploma or GED, and she may not have any contact with Prince's family. The Prince family made no request for a mandated apology.

The remaining charges against Mullins were dismissed without prejudice.

Anne O'Brien offered an additional victim impact statement, during which she said, "Phoebe had as much right as Flannery Mullins to be in school." But, O'Brien added, Mullins made school "intolerable" for her daughter, eventually prompting her to write that school had become "simply a challenge of making it through each day without harm."

Appearing before judge Daniel J. Swords, Velazquez admitted to facts sufficient to warrant a delinquency charge on a count of criminal harassment. The charge carried a maximum penalty of a commitment to the Department of Youth Services.

Velazquez's probationary term will last until she turns 18 in July 2011, at which point the Juvenile Court's dominion over her no longer applies. During that time, she may not initiate contact with the Prince familly and may not profit financially from her role in the case. Given the short probation term, prosecutor Steven Gagne said, her community service requirement was set at 50 hours.

Gagne noted that the Commonwealth, on behalf of the Prince family, is not requesting a mandated apology. However, the Prince family has requested that Velazquez perform an additional 50 hours of community service after her probationary term ends.

Prince's mother, Anne O'Brien, was again in attendance to deliver a victim impact statement.

Citing Prince's love of writing poetry and short stories, she said "A great deal of her writing sits on my hard drive at home, in folders I can't bear to open."

In proceedings on Wednesday, defendants Sean Mulveyhill and Kayla E. Narey were each sentenced to a year of probation, during which time they must each complete 100 hours of community service.

Mulveyhill pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of criminal harassment. Narey admitted to facts sufficient for a guilty finding on a misdemeanor criminal harassment charge, which was continued without a finding for one year.

As additional conditions of their probation, Mulveyhill and Narey must not initiate contact with Prince's family and may not, during their probationary terms, profit financially from their role in the case. Mulveyhill must also earn a high school diploma or complete a GED program.
